Yeah, looks a bit like a waterpipe now that I think about it.
I think the second version is a lot clearer. Do you agree?

Question: Why isn't there just a general "USE" button for EVERYTHING!? O.o
I mean, that'd solve a lot of these problems and future ones.
Yes, I know this has been suggested before but I'm putting it here, anyway.

Answer: Because some items might have many uses.
Answer2: More buttons, more fun;)

I think that we could use a general use button, but if we have specific symbols, why shouldn't we use them?

Partially implemented. See your coins.

I can see the dice icon next to a coin, but it functions as a 'toss coin' button, shouldn't I see the 'toss coin' button or am I missing something?
Oh wait, is that was you meant by partially implemented? I thought you meant 'partially' as in 'of the whole dice, coins and pipes implementation'.

As for now this buttons functions as "use this object to get random output. Later, we can change the icon to one proposed earlier.
Partially implemented, because dice are not ready yet.

Okay, thanks.
Another question though, is their a particular reason why we can't use 'heads' and 'tails' for the two sides of the coin, or is this too OOC? 'Obverse' and 'reverse' sound a little clumsy to me.

Well, the idea behind that is that there are technically no heads on Cantrian coins, so which side would be heads?

There might be translation issues, and also, it was determined to be too OOC since Cantr coins don't have heads on them.
In retrospect, since Cantr coins are only printed on one side, it could be print/blank.

Are they blank indeed or only not specified? I could also imagine that the decription is imprinted on the rim, leaving both sides unspecified.

Oooh, hadn't thought of that. Don't you love text games?

yea, translation issues... I can't think about more OOCish translation of 'head' and 'tail' of the coin than our PL 'eagle' and.. 'pile'? (sorry, can't find the right word in dict.). I doubt many cantrian coins would actualy have an eagle on them
why not stick to the obverse/reverse?

Or top/bottom >.> Why make things more confusing than they are?

I think it would be better to use heads or tails and their equivalents in different languages even if they were based on things that didn't exist in Cantr. Or then print or blank, but that might be vague for people who haven't realized that Cantrian coins can't techincally have images and are only printed on one side. Many event messages in Cantr sound clumsy so could we make an exception in this case and go with the more natural sentences?
